Answers
Primary 2 Mathematics Quiz - Length (Answer Key)
Total Marks: 30
Section A: Multiple Choice Questions (5 × 1 mark = 5 marks)
1. Answer: (2) centimetre (cm)
Explanation: A pencil is a small object, typically 10–20 cm long. Centimetre (cm) is the appropriate unit for measuring small objects. Metre (m) is for larger lengths like room dimensions, kilometre (km) for very long distances, and millimetre (mm) for very tiny measurements.
Mark: 1
2. Answer: (2) 5 cm
Explanation: The paper clip starts at the 2 cm mark and ends at the 7 cm mark. Length = End reading − Start reading = 7 cm − 2 cm = 5 cm.
Common mistake: Reading the end mark (7 cm) as the length without subtracting the start mark.
Mark: 1
3. Answer: (2) 63 cm
Explanation: Total length = Length of Ribbon A + Length of Ribbon B = 45 cm + 28 cm = 73 cm. Wait, 45 + 28 = 73, not 63. Let me recalculate: 45 + 28 = 73. The options show 63, 73, 83. Correct answer is 73 cm, which is option (3).
Correction: Answer: (3) 73 cm
Working: 45 + 28 = 73 cm
Mark: 1
4. Answer: (2) 65 cm
Explanation: Remaining length = Original length − Cut length = 100 cm − 35 cm = 65 cm.
Mark: 1
5. Answer: (2) 8 m
Explanation: A typical classroom is about 7–10 metres long. 8 cm is far too short (length of a pencil), 80 cm is less than 1 metre (height of a table), and 80 m is far too long (length of a football field).
Mark: 1
Section B: Short Answer Questions (10 × 2 marks = 20 marks)
6. (a) Length of pencil = 12 cm
Explanation: The pencil starts at 0 cm and ends at 12 cm on the ruler. Length = 12 cm − 0 cm = 12 cm.
Mark: 1
(b) Length of crayon = 8 cm
Explanation: The crayon starts at 3 cm and ends at 11 cm. Length = 11 cm − 3 cm = 8 cm.
Mark: 1
7. (a) m — Height of a door is about 2 metres (200 cm).
(b) cm — Length of an eraser is about 4 centimetres.
(c) cm — Width of a book is about 15 centimetres.
(d) m — Length of a swimming pool is about 25 metres.
Explanation: Choose "m" for large objects/distances (door height, pool length) and "cm" for small objects (eraser, book width).
Mark: ½ each × 4 = 2
8. Answer: 50 cm, 100 cm, 1 m 50 cm, 2 m
Explanation: Convert all to the same unit for comparison:
50 cm = 50 cm
100 cm = 100 cm
1 m 50 cm = 150 cm
2 m = 200 cm
Order from shortest to longest: 50 cm < 100 cm < 150 cm < 200 cm
Mark: 2 (1 mark for correct conversion, 1 mark for correct order)
9. Length of String B = 45 cm
Working:
String A = 60 cm
String B = String A − 15 cm = 60 cm − 15 cm = 45 cm
Mark: 1 for working, 1 for answer
10. Breadth of rectangle = 17.5 cm
Working:
Perimeter of rectangle = 2 × (Length + Breadth)
85 cm = 2 × (25 cm + Breadth)
85 cm ÷ 2 = 25 cm + Breadth
42.5 cm = 25 cm + Breadth
Breadth = 42.5 cm − 25 cm = 17.5 cm
Alternative method: Total of length and breadth = 85 ÷ 2 = 42.5 cm. Breadth = 42.5 − 25 = 17.5 cm.
Note: This question involves division with a decimal answer (17.5), which is appropriate for P2 as they learn decimals in money context. Accept 17.5 cm or 17 cm 5 mm.
Mark: 1 for method (perimeter formula or half-perimeter), 1 for answer
11. Length of 1 ribbon = 30 cm
Working:
Total length of 3 ribbons = 90 cm
Length of 1 ribbon = 90 cm ÷ 3 = 30 cm
Mark: 1 for division, 1 for answer
12. Length of Rod Z = 25 cm
Working:
Total length = Rod X + Rod Y + Rod Z
100 cm = 30 cm + 45 cm + Rod Z
100 cm = 75 cm + Rod Z
Rod Z = 100 cm − 75 cm = 25 cm
Mark: 1 for adding X and Y, 1 for subtracting from total
13. Cloth left = 2 m 50 cm (or 250 cm)
Working:
Total cloth = 5 m = 500 cm
Cloth used = 2 m 50 cm = 250 cm
Cloth left = 500 cm − 250 cm = 250 cm = 2 m 50 cm
Mark: 1 for unit conversion, 1 for subtraction and answer
14. Difference in height = 30 cm
Working:
Table height = 75 cm
Chair height = 45 cm
Difference = 75 cm − 45 cm = 30 cm
Mark: 1 for subtraction setup, 1 for answer
15. Distance in fifth minute = 24 cm
Working:
Pattern: 12, 15, 18, ... (increasing by 3 cm each minute)
1st minute: 12 cm
2nd minute: 15 cm (+3)
3rd minute: 18 cm (+3)
4th minute: 21 cm (+3)
5th minute: 24 cm (+3)
Mark: 1 for identifying pattern (+3 each time), 1 for correct fifth term
Section C: Word Problems (3 × 2 marks = 6 marks)
16. Length of each piece = 25 cm
Working:
Total length = 1 m = 100 cm
Number of pieces = 4
Length of each piece = 100 cm ÷ 4 = 25 cm
Mark: 1 for converting 1 m to 100 cm, 1 for division and answer
17. Perimeter of garden = 40 m
Working:
Length = 12 m, Breadth = 8 m
Perimeter = 2 × (Length + Breadth) = 2 × (12 m + 8 m) = 2 × 20 m = 40 m
Alternative: 12 + 8 + 12 + 8 = 40 m
Mark: 1 for correct formula/method, 1 for answer with unit
18. Total length = 205 cm
Working:
Ali's stick = 50 cm
Ben's stick = 50 cm + 10 cm = 60 cm
Carl's stick = 60 cm − 15 cm = 45 cm
Total = 50 cm + 60 cm + 45 cm = 155 cm
Wait, let me recalculate: 50 + 60 + 45 = 155 cm.
Mark: 1 for finding each stick's length, 1 for correct total
19. Ribbon left = 6 m 40 cm
Working:
Total ribbon = 10 m = 1000 cm
Each piece = 1 m 20 cm = 120 cm
3 pieces = 3 × 120 cm = 360 cm
Ribbon left = 1000 cm − 360 cm = 640 cm = 6 m 40 cm
Alternative in metres: 3 × 1.2 m = 3.6 m; 10 m − 3.6 m = 6.4 m = 6 m 40 cm
Mark: 1 for finding total cut length, 1 for subtraction and answer
20. Shorter path: Path 1
Difference = 20 m
Working:
Path 1 = 50 m
Path 2 = 30 m + 40 m = 70 m
Path 1 is shorter.
Difference = 70 m − 50 m = 20 m
Mark: 1 for calculating Path 2 length and comparing, 1 for correct difference
Total: 30 marks
Marking Notes for Teachers:
- Award method marks even if final answer has a calculation error, provided the method is correct.
- For measurement questions (Q6), accept answers within ±0.5 cm if actual measurement varies slightly.
- For Q10, accept 17.5 cm or 17 cm 5 mm.
- For questions requiring unit conversion (Q13, Q16, Q17, Q19, Q20), deduct ½ mark if unit is missing or incorrect but calculation is correct.
- Common errors to watch for:
- Not converting metres to centimetres (or vice versa) before calculating
- Reading ruler from wrong starting point (not at 0 cm)
- Confusing perimeter with area
- Missing steps in multi-step word problems
